Indeed, but 99 percent of the "diagnosis" offered in support groups is
of the same order.  In fact in this thread it is not even a question.
The theme is with regard to the above claims made about what a person
with ps can and can not do because of the affliction.  One can easily
show this is not the case, even as your last point above indicates.

While a diagnosis can not be made as on the level as would become part
of a formal medical file, some behaviors expressed even by writing alone
exclude all but a few conclusions.  One can not prove but one can fail
to disprove what reasonable conclusions fit the behaviors exibited.

As I am posting only in the cardiology group, a discussion of a mental
illness is not on topic.  However if you wish to pursue the topic a
generic description of ps and of cycles of decompensation can be posted
as a basis for discussion if you desire to continue.

It would, as you started above, show the claims made at the top are
groundless.

God bless.
